I can't find the T&T in a quick glance in Rainwater's "Encyclopedia," but the EPNS means "Electroplated Nickel Silver." The chances are good that it was a new piece when donated--unless it looks to you like a Victorian piece, given in 1927 as an antique. "Hammered" is an interesting thing, which might actually mean that this plated piece was hammered (something not unheard of in the 1910s and 20s) to make it look "hand made." Hammered, however, might also be a pattern name. Perhaps some other expert out there might have more info on the maker...
